He's friends with the Captain of the homocide division, and the other cops love him so much the freely give him all they have on any case he's working on. He shoots at least four people yet never spends a night in jail, it's just a matter of filling out a few reports. Cops hate PI's and you can't just go around shooting whomever you please with no consequences. I know it takes place in the 50's but really, reality check? It was mindless entertainment, like watching an old movie when nothing else is on. Not recommended. ( ) Darn it's good to visit old friends! I met detective Shell Scott through Richard Prather in the middle to late 1950s, and I remember getting a woody over Shell's descriptions of the females fair. Today at 64 I smile and enjoy an era's breakthrough language that pales to today's street language. You can tell Prather is having fun 2with his work, especially by his use of some of the most God-awful puns I've had the pleasure to read.An example: "Let nature take its curse.."

Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Shell Scott (18)
When a beautiful woman needs a bodyguard, wisecracking private eye Shell Scott is the man for the job in this classic hardboiled mystery. Of course my line of work has its perks--and it should when I lay my life on the line for dangerously daring women even if they are among the most luscious ladies I've ever met. It's not easy guarding these beautiful bodies . . . of course it takes a lot more than being a bodyguard these days, especially when there's so much body to be guarded. And she has plenty of body to keep me busy--uh, working--for quite a while, even if she's stacked for murder. Take a Murder, Darling is the 18th book in the Shell Scott Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
